  • You know what they say," a Dragon a day"

    No, hmm, me neither ! But here's a start,2ad04 Take That, you smelly human. I normally don't like people in my pictures, I just like dragons, however, I have to make exceptions if the dragon is worth the shot. I Have 12 Franklin mint Dragons designed by Micheal Whalen, my favorite and as many plates by Myles Pinkney; two of the greats I do like other artists that do excellent dragons but distract from them by including exagerated beautiful human forms. My opinion for what it is worth. O.K. today is your lucky day. You get two,1adrwgl Enjoy                                                               SCOTT

     Sony Handycam
    It was only a few months ago I purchased my first digital movie camera What a beauty !It certainly is  a technological wonder. Did you know Sony makes a very attractive And stylistic paper weight and/or conversation piece. The user manual, is locked safely away in this other modern marvel, my computer. I know it is here because I put it in here myself; 4 times, before I was sure. Where; don't ask.

    Front of Kodak EASY share Back of Kodak  

     

    Yesterday , I bought another, less complicated camera with a real, physical manual, that even has pictures In it. This is gonna be a cinch. I have already taken my first picture wth it. The theory was, I would learn this simple little Kodak and work my way up to the Sony. I now have a picture in this nice compact camera, no bigger that an old 110. Oops let the cat outa the bag, my photographic days go back to a chissel and stone. Once I have mastered the software, I'll retrieve the picture and frame it; not as a work of art, but as a testimony of tenacity. I know the picture is in there because when I touch the right series of buttons I can see it. My plan is to show it to all of you as soon as I figure out how to extricate from this cute little box it's in.  Will you keep your fingers crossed for me ?

     

    Camera OR phone  Once I have the picture, I'm going to tackle the camera I have been carrying around in my pocket  with a phone attached to it for two years. This was all going to be soo easy.. At this point I'm considering  going back to the 35mmSLR and wait two days for the film to come back.

    WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENTAL CANDIDATE, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN, GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?
    "My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

    Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

    This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning.


    Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

    The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

    Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.
    THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

    The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

    Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France

    In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.


    Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China .


    I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France , Germany , and Russia . Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon
    ne chance, mez amies.

    I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York !


    A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.


    Mexico is also on List 2. I
    ts president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousand tanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

    Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NA FTA treaty - starting now.


    We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.


    It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "da
    mn tootin."

    Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America . To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.


    To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

    God bless America . Thank you and good night.

  • I hoped you'd drop by. I'm really sorry I missed

    you. I have gone out to pick up in inexpensive Camera to use with my camera. I have no idea what to by, so who knows wat I'll come home with. As long as it is digital and will show me the basics of this new "to me" technology, it'll be O.K. I wish my Di Di was here to help. But I'm going to have to do this all by my self.  Please stop by later. I hope to have some good news for you all.

  • Hello Friend !

    It's heading for noon and I'm heading outside. It is not going to warm suficiently to suit me that means, to me it's cold. In any case I'm glad you have taken the time to visit but I 've stepped out for another cup of coffee, just to be outside in the air, I know it won't be long bacause when it come to the cold, I'm a sissy ! It, might be too early for Brandy, Talked myself into a screw driver and have my morning orange juice. I have a couple chores outside to take care of, on top of being cold, I  know I'm not going to be out there long,

  • Is it fair that cigarettes don’t have to list additives when other products do?

    Absolutely not ! Directions for the use and posible side effects should also be posted on the package and on a  separate sheet such as those that accompany the use of prescription drugs. Smokers, have been deliberately kept in thre dark  for half a century, should have enough information to make an informed desicision as to whether they should or should not. I don't think an informed consumer would diliberately put those poisons into thier body.. It is a very slow and very painful means to suicide or murder. There have been actual cases of muder. Where a loving non-smoking spouse of a heavy smoker has died from cancer without ever smoking  cigerette
